High School students in New Haven are participating in the American College Application Campaign, a national effort to increase the number of first-generation and low-income students pursuing a college degree or other higher education credential. The goal of the effort is to help high school seniors navigate the complex college admissions process and ensure they apply to at least one postsecondary institution. The effort occurs during the school day, with a focus on students who might not otherwise apply to college. New Haven is piloting the initiative for the state of Connecticut.
